NETGEAR VPN Configuration

B-15

v1.0, May 2008

c.

Install the IPSec component. You might have the option to install either the VPN adapter
or the IPSec component or both. The VPN adapter is not necessary.

d. The system should show the ProSafe icon (

) in the system tray after rebooting.

e.

Double-click the system tray icon to open the Security Policy Editor.

2. Add a new connection.

a. Run the NETGEAR ProSafe Security Policy Editor program, and create a VPN

Connection.

b. From the Edit menu of the Security Policy Editor, click Add, and then click Connection.

A New Connection listing appears in the list of policies. Rename the new connection so
that it matches the connection name that you entered in the VPN settings of the DG834G
v5 on Gateway A.

Note: In this example, the connection name used on the client side of the VPN

tunnel is toDG834G and it does not have to match the VPN_client
connection name used on the gateway side of the VPN tunnel (see

Figure B-17

) because connection names are irrelevant to how the VPN

tunnel functions.

Tip: Choose connection names that make sense to the people using and

administrating the VPN.
